Sky Walk .:. The Dutch Adventure

avatar

I was in doubt about in what community to publish this post as it is a bit "specific" and doesn't fit in either one... lol... In the end, I have decided to go for my favorite #WednesdayWalk community... It is not just about aerial photos as I spent a lot of time "on the ground" before... 😂 Also, I know that you guys enjoyed the "report" from the #HiveFest last year, and these are photos from my last moments on Dutch soil and air... 😂

18.jpg

So, this was my last day in the Netherlands after having a great time at the Hive Fest and meeting some awesome people there... The event was in Amsterdam, but I had my flight back from Eindhoven... I have already described the last morning in Eindhoven post from December, but I didn't write about my "airport adventure"... So, here we are...

01.jpg

02.jpg

As you can see from the look at the sky, the day was unpredictable... It didn't rain, but it was about to do it any time... During the morning, the weather was great and I had a great time in the city, but while I was traveling by bus to the airport it was worse and worse... Luckily, in the end, it didn't rain at all!

03.jpg

In those days, the airport staff was scarce, and there were huge delays in flights, especially in Amsterdam, so because of that, I decided to go to the airport 5-6 hours before my flight... Again, I was lucky that there weren't delays at Eindhoven airport... People were coming early (like myself) and the airport was busier, but without delays...

04.jpg

So, having more free time than expected, I have decided to take a walk outside and take a walk around the airport... These tents were set up to absorb potential queues in a wait for drop off luggage (that was the weak spot... lack of workers)... When I came, in the queue were like 20-30 people... not a big deal... But, I couldn't drop off my luggage more than 2 hours before the flight... When it was turned on me, the queue was almost until these tents, which meant over 100-200 people in the queue...

05.jpg

A look at the perfect lawn in front of the building... If you have ever questioned why everything is so "beautifully" green in the Netherlands, the answer is at the top of the image... hiding inside those clouds... 😂 It's raining a lot... 😃

06.jpg

It was around 5-6 PM and after having a weak breakfast, I had to eat something... So, I ordered a pizza... The guy said to me to come back in 10-12 minutes and it will be ready... I did that, the guy opened the oven, and the pizza was burnt... lol... So, I had to wait for another 10 minutes... lol... The previous day I had a heavy headache and waited twice for the pizza, it was coming back... Long story short, pizza came, I ate it all, took a pill for my migraine, and tried to relax a bit... Btw, that's tea, not whisky... but, maybe alcohol would work better than medicine... 😄

07.jpg

Our plane has arrived and we were waiting for people that just came with it to leave it...

08.jpg

This photo has a great effect on it... I took this from the inside of the building, and those circles that you can see are from the ceiling lights! 😃

09.jpg

10.jpg

It's time to take the last walk on Dutch soil... 😃 As I don't like to wait in a queue, I waited until almost everyone passed the "ticket control"... There is no sense standing outside in line when you can sit inside the comfy sofas... 😃 I never understood people who were rushing to get first into the plane, train, bus, especially if you have reserved seat tickets... You will not arrive at your destination faster than the last person in the queue...


11.jpg

12.jpg

While I was in the queue, it was getting dark...

13.jpg

14.jpg

There they are... the last luggage is getting on the plane... Mine was with me, so no worries that it will be lost somewhere...

15.jpg

And we are in the air!! I was trying to take photos through the window, but it wasn't an easy task... Firstly, the windows weren't clean... lol... And secondly, it was getting dark and my mobile phone doesn't "like" the lack of lights...

16.jpg

I have no idea what city was under us, but I definitely enjoyed the view! I suppose that we were above some Belgium city, or it was maybe someplace in France...

17.jpg

I was traveling before during the night, but I can't remember that I had views like this... That afternoon began as very cloudy and in the end, we had a clear sky and I was able to take photos like this!!! In the end, I was lucky that day! 😃

Thank you for your valuable time,

~ph~

I don't know it rained a lot in the Netherlands. It's obviously a green beautiful country, the food is also amazing. I was looking at the views you captured from the plane, it's quite surprising to see how the POV of the ground changes when you're air borne. Must've been a wonderful experience. I prefer the afternoon view

As that was my first visit to the Netherlands, I did enjoy... It was a bit too cold for me as I'm spoiled by a mild Spanish climate...
And regarding plane photos, I never did a shot like those... It was a perfect time, just before the dark...

You walked in the plane, that counts as walk too. 😂

And you had perfect view, great catch! Be proud on your self control migraine and hunger spiced with migraine... Huh 😅

Imagine having a digital camera! This photo would be 10x better :) But, I'm happy with it as it is... Migraine sucks... You never be used to them, but I know how to live with them...

Thanks for your kind words!

I'm not a big fan of airports, as usually, I'm stressing too much, especially when I travel with family... Too many things to think about... lol...

I always Amazed airport stories especially with the sky and how big the architecture of the building and the street.

Absolutely you never forget that moment. That's beautiful country. I hope one day I can be there too. 😊

Yeah, it is a great country... It's a pity that for 5 days, there was only 1 that was "half-sunny", but maybe that's the sign that I should go again to have an even better experience... 😃

Last year I used the same airport to make it to the Netherlands, this year my bike will bring me there next months (now at Serbia then Croatia). It will be my 3d time over Dutch soil and I loved every bit of the previous ones.

I'm living in Spain and I have never been to Greece (I hope I will go next summer or the year after... having that on my list 😃), but I bet that the weather is much better than in the Netherlands... 😂

Maybe it was raining somewhere, but it didn't at the airport... As I was there for 3-4 hours after taking those photos... 😃

Wow! What a picturesque view and great pictures in the air my friend. I always wanted to travel when the Sun is going down. But every time I ride on the plane it is gloomy or early in the morning. Have safe travels my friend and keep safe.

Thanks!
Actually, that was the first time that I was traveling in "that time"... Similar to you, usually it was early in the morning, or by night...
This time, it was a perfect timing!

I love the way the photos turned out. I have taken some from a plane but they never turned out like that. You never can tell about any delays that an airport will be experiencing so it is best to get there early. Take care.

To be honest, it was the first time that I took photos like that... As I said in other comments, the timing was perfect... And who knows if I will ever do something like this... lol... 😃

Thanks a lot!
